WHAT IS MUAY THAI?

Muay Thai - or Thai boxing - is a traditional full-contact competitive martial art from Thailand. In layman's terms, Muay Thai is Thai-style kickboxing. It incorporates punches combined with kicks. In contrast to traditional kickboxing, knee and elbow strikes, throws, and clinching are allowed as well. Now instead of further boring you with long-winded "copy and paste" explanations, we will refer you to the Wikipedia Entry for additional information.

FULL CONTACT? COMPETITIVE SPORT?

It's a fact that Thai Boxing is a tough sport. Fights often end in a KO.

But at Kardia, we never train with full power or full contact. We value health, well-being, and the communal development of our fighters. Hard training should mean reaching your limit, not bashing each other's skulls in.

Muay Thai is a martial art and not a self-defense system. It's not a matter of life and death, but a fair one-on-one with sportsmanship and rules. To practice a martial art will eventually lead to the realization, that fights happen on multiple levels. To test prove yourself thaiboxing inside the ring, is just one of them. Practicing a martial art means to leave your comfort-zone and to face new challenges. We encourage every member of Kardia to fight their battles.
